Indicators not working

[rjahunter]

Got all my lights up and running now, including hazard warning lights all round. Steering column wiring looms are all connected but steering column is not mounted to the dash yet, although it is connected to the rack at the bottom end.

Any thoughts as to why the indicators wouldn't be working with the ignition on ? I've replaced the flasher unit with one which does 2x21w + 1x5w for the repeaters.

The usual help would be greatly appreciated.

Richard I had this over the weekend. It may not be relevant to you if you have replaced the indicator stalk assembly, but I hadn't and the contacts over which the arm moves when indicated right / left do get corroded which stop the circuit working. I just scraped mine with a little screwdriver and I had working indicators

Thanks for the suggestion. It's a new stalk switch as you say and the contacts are nice and bright. I'll keep testing !
